“Affiliate” of any specified person means any other person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling,” or “controlled by”), as used with respect to any person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise.

“Agent” means any Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or additional paying agent.

“Applicable Premium” means the greater of (A) 1.0% of the principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes and (B) on any redemption date, the excess (to the extent positive) of: (a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of the EchoStar New Notes at November 30, 2026 (such redemption price (expressed in percentage of principal amount) being set forth in the table under Section 3.07(b) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest, if any)), plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the EchoStar New Notes to and including such date set forth in clause (i) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest, if any), computed upon the redemption date using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate at such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over (b) the outstanding principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes. In each case, as calculated by the Company or on behalf of the Company by such Person as the Company shall designate. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculations of the Applicable Premium.

“Applicable Treasury Rate” means, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the redemption date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to November 30, 2026; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to November 30, 2026 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.

“Appraised Value” means, as of any date of determination, the aggregate fair market value (without duplication) of the applicable assets on such date as certified in one or more written appraisals as of a date no more than 90 days prior to such, each conducted by an Independent Appraiser as determined pursuant to the final paragraph of this definition. Whenever there is a reference to “Appraised Value” or any ratio or basket that is dependent upon the determination of the “Appraised Value” in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the fair market value of the applicable assets shall be determined pursuant to the methodology described in the succeeding paragraph.

The Company may, at any time, require an update to the Appraised Value of the applicable assets by delivering written notice to the Holders of its exercise of this option. Within 30 days following the date of such notice (the “Appraisal Notice Date”), the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes (the “Required Holders”), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall each appoint an Independent Appraiser (each an “Initial Appraiser”) to determine the aggregate Appraised Value of the Collateral with such determination to be made no later than 60 days of the Appraisal Notice Date. If (i) the variance in the aggregate Appraised Values of the Collateral as determined by each of the Initial Appraisers is such that the lesser of the two aggregate Appraised Values of the Collateral is at least 75% of the higher of the two aggregate Appraised Values of the Collateral, the Appraised Values of the Collateral shall be the average of the two values determined by the Initial Appraisers; or (ii) if the foregoing clause (i) does not apply, either the Company or the Required Holders shall have the right to request the appointment of a third Independent Appraiser. In such case, the Initial Appraisers shall appoint another Independent Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) to determine the aggregate Appraised Value of the Collateral with such determination to be made no later than 90 days of the Appraisal Notice Date, and the aggregate the Appraised Value of the Collateral shall be the average of the three values determined by the Initial Appraisers and the Third Appraiser. If (i) either the Required Holders or the Company shall fail to appoint an Independent Appraiser who delivers an updated Appraised Value of the Collateral within the deadline specified above, the aggregate Appraised Value of the Collateral shall be as determined by Independent Appraiser that has delivered an updated Appraised Value of the Collateral within such timeline and (ii) a Third Appraiser has not appointed and delivered an updated Appraised Value within the deadline specified above, the Appraised Value of the Collateral shall be as determined pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence. Any appointment by the Required Holders referred to above shall be subject to the applicable provisions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture. By acceptance of their EchoStar New Notes under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the holders hereby agree that any of the deadlines set forth in this definition shall be automatically extended to the extent made necessary due to the failure of the Company to provide any information or cooperation reasonably requested by any applicable appraiser, and in the event of such extension no Indebtedness or Asset Sale requiring a determination of Appraised Value shall be made until the Appraised Value is determined in accordance with the foregoing, and no further action shall be necessary to effect such extension.

(a)

General. EchoStar New Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). The EchoStar New Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each EchoStar New Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The EchoStar New Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. Notes in denominations of less than $1,000 will not be available.

The terms and provisions contained in the EchoStar New Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of the EchoStar New Notes, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any EchoStar New Note conflicts with the express provisions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the provisions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b)

Global Notes. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding EchoStar New Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding EchoStar New Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding EchoStar New Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c)

Additional Notes. This EchoStar New Notes Indenture is unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The Company may, subject to applicable law and this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, including in compliance with Section 4.07 (Incurrence of Indebtedness) issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes. The EchoStar New Notes and, if issued, any Additional Notes, are treated as a single class for all purposes under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, including, without limitation, with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase, except as otherwise provided for herein.

Section 2.02        Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer must sign the EchoStar New Notes for the Company by manual or electronic signature. If an Officer whose signature is on an EchoStar New Note no longer holds that office at the time an EchoStar New Note is authenticated, the EchoStar New Note will nevertheless be valid.

An EchoStar New Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. Such signature will be conclusive evidence that the EchoStar New Note has been authenticated under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture. The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by at least one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate EchoStar New Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of EchoStar New Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 and Section 3.08 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate EchoStar New Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate EchoStar New Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03        Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company will maintain an office or agency where EchoStar New Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where EchoStar New Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the EchoStar New Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium if any, or interest on the EchoStar New Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the EchoStar New Notes.

Section 2.05        Holder Lists. The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).

If an EchoStar New Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced EchoStar New Note is held by a “protected purchaser” (as defined in Article 8 of the New York State Uniform Commercial Code).

If the principal amount of any EchoStar New Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay EchoStar New Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such EchoStar New Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09        Treasury EchoStar New Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of EchoStar New Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, EchoStar New Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only EchoStar New Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10        Temporary EchoStar New Notes. Until certificates representing EchoStar New Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary EchoStar New Notes. Temporary EchoStar New Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary EchoStar New Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive EchoStar New Notes in exchange for temporary EchoStar New Notes.

Holders of temporary EchoStar New Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture.

Section 2.11        Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver EchoStar New Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any EchoStar New Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all EchoStar New Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled EchoStar New Notes in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of cancelled securities. Certification of the disposition of all canceled EchoStar New Notes will be delivered to the Company upon its written request therefor. The Company may not issue new Senior Spectrum Secured Exchange Notes to replace EchoStar New Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12        Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the EchoStar New Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the EchoStar New Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each EchoStar New Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will send or cause to be sent to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13        Purchase and Cancellation.

(a)

The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such EchoStar New Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase EchoStar New Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives in each case, without the prior written notice to or consent of the Holders. The Company shall cause any EchoStar New Notes so repurchased (but excluding EchoStar New Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08, and they will no longer be considered outstanding under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture upon this repurchase.

(b)

The Company will cause all EchoStar New Notes surrendered for payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee (including any of our agents, subsidiaries or affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and they will no longer be considered “outstanding” under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture upon their payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange. All EchoStar New Notes delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No EchoStar New Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any EchoStar New Notes cancelled, except as provided in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture.

Article III
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01        Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem EchoStar New Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

the clause of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

the redemption date;

the principal amount of EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed; and

the redemption price.

Section 3.02        Selection of EchoStar New Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the EchoStar New Notes are to be redeemed at any time, such EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by DTC in accordance with its applicable procedures; provided that no EchoStar New Notes with a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notice of a redemption shall be sent at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the EchoStar New Notes or the satisfaction and discharge of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture. If any EchoStar New Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such EchoStar New Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new EchoStar New Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original EchoStar New Note. On and after the redemption date, if the Company does not default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on EchoStar New Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Any redemption notice may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one of more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s sole discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all of such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Company (in the Company’s sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Section 3.03        Notice to Holders. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will give or cause to be given a notice of redemption to each Holder whose EchoStar New Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the EchoStar New Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or XII hereof.

The notice will identify the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed and will state:

the redemption date;

the redemption price;

if any EchoStar New Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such EchoStar New Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such EchoStar New Note, a new EchoStar New Note or EchoStar New Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued upon cancellation of the original EchoStar New Note;

the name and address of the Paying Agent;

that EchoStar New Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on EchoStar New Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

the paragraph of the EchoStar New Notes and/or Section of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture pursuant to which the EchoStar New Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or CINS number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the EchoStar New Notes.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04        Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, EchoStar New Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.

Section 3.05        Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. One Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest on all EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the EchoStar New Notes or the portions of EchoStar New Notes called for redemption or purchase. If an EchoStar New Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such EchoStar New Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any EchoStar New Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the EchoStar New Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06        EchoStar New Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.Upon surrender of an EchoStar New Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new EchoStar New Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the EchoStar New Note surrendered.

Section 3.07        Optional Redemption. Except as described in this Section 3.07, Section 4.09 and Section 4.14, the EchoStar New Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to maturity. The Company may concurrently redeem EchoStar New Notes under more than one of the following provisions and may redeem EchoStar New Notes under one or more of the following provisions pursuant to a single notice of redemption, and any such notice may provide for redemptions under different provisions with different redemption dates.

(a)

Optional Redemption prior to November 30, 2026: At any time prior to November 30, 2026, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem all or part of the EchoStar New Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date.

(b)

Optional Redemption on or after November 30, 2026: At any time and from time to time on or after November 30, 2026, the Company may redeem the EchoStar New Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 and not more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to such applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the periods indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

(c)

Optional Redemption upon Asset Sales: Within 45 days following an Asset Sale, the Company may apply the Net Proceeds or the Specified Net Proceeds, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.09(b) to redeem EchoStar New Notes, in whole or in part, at the relevant redemption price set in clause 4.09(b)(1), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date.

(d)

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the EchoStar New Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(e)

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof.

(f)

In the case of any partial redemption, unless otherwise required by law or, with respect to Global Notes, by the procedures of the Depositary, the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis; provided, that, unless otherwise required by law, certificated EchoStar New Notes (other than Global Notes) will be selected by the Trustee by lot.

Section 3.08        Special Partial Mandatory Redemption. If a Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event occurs, the EchoStar New Notes will be redeemed in an amount (taking into consideration equivalent provisions under the New Senior Spectrum Secured Convertible Notes Indenture and the New Senior Spectrum Secured Exchange Notes Indenture), as shall be determined by the Company (such failure, a “Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event”) and set forth in the notice delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.18 and in the notice of redemption to be delivered to the Holders pursuant to such Section, such that immediately after giving effect to such redemption the LTV Ratio shall not be greater than 0.375 to 1.00 at a price equal to 102% of the aggregate principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether the amount of the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed in connection with a Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event complies with the requirements of this Section 3.08.

In the case of any partial redemption (including Special Partial Mandatory Redemption), unless otherwise required by law or, with respect to Global Notes, by the procedures of the Depositary, the EchoStar New Notes to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis; provided, that, unless otherwise required by law, certificated EchoStar New Notes (other than Global Notes) will be selected by the Trustee by lot.

Other than as explicitly set forth in this Section 3.08, the provisions of Article III related to redemption of EchoStar New Notes, including deposit of redemption price and relevant notices, shall apply mutatis mutandis to a mandatory redemption of the EchoStar New Notes in accordance with this Section 3.08.

The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the EchoStar New Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the EchoStar New Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the EchoStar New Notes to the extent lawful. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.

If a payment date is not a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the intervening period.

Section 4.02        Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where EchoStar New Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the EchoStar New Notes and this EchoStar New Notes Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the EchoStar New Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

In the event (i) the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13(a) and 15(d) under the Exchange Act and (ii) any EchoStar New Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders, within 15 days after the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations applicable to a large accelerated filer, all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company was required to file such forms, and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by its independent registered public accounting firm.

Any delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 4.04        Compliance Certificate.

The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the EchoStar New Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05        Taxes. The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06        Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby (a) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and (b) expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.08. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

Section 4.12        After-acquired Collateral and Future Assurances.

The Guarantors shall, and the Company shall cause the Guarantors to, execute, deliver and/or file any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law (to the extent required under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and/or the Security Documents), in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. In addition, from time to time, the Guarantors will reasonably promptly (and in no event later than 90 days) secure the obligations under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for preparing or filing financing statements or otherwise perfecting the security interest in the Collateral.

Any transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by any Guarantor to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor or a Spectrum Joint Venture shall be void ab initio, and in any event the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (i) immediately take any and all actions necessary to return such Collateral to the applicable Guarantor and (ii) pending such return immediately take any and all actions necessary to cause such Collateral to be subject to perfected security interests and Liens to secure the obligations under the EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents.

(1)

its corporate or limited liability company existence, and the corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence of each of the Guarantors, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Guarantor; and

(2)

the rights (charter and statutory), licenses (including any licenses constituting Spectrum Assets) and franchises of the Company and the Guarantors;

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence of any of the Guarantors or any such right, license or franchise if the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.14        Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Event.

(a)

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s EchoStar New Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest, thereon to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Event, the Company will give a notice to each Holder stating:

(1)

that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14;

(2)

the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(6)

that Holders whose EchoStar New Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new EchoStar New Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the EchoStar New Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof; and

(7)

any other information the Company determines to be material to such Holder’s decision to tender EchoStar New Notes.

(b)

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1)

accept for payment all EchoStar New Notes or portions of EchoStar New Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 hereof and purchases all EchoStar New Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption for all outstanding EchoStar New Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(e)

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the EchoStar New Notes required in the event of a Change of Control Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 4.14 hereof, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made, and such Change of Control Offer is otherwise made in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.14.

(g)

In the event that Holders of at least 90.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or the third party making the Change of Control Offer as described above) purchases all of the EchoStar New Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn) by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the EchoStar New Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the EchoStar New Notes that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Section 4.15        Additional Guarantees and Collateral. If any Guarantor transfers or causes to be transferred, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, Collateral (other than any Collateral that is released from the Lien securing the EchoStar New Notes pursuant to the provisions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents) to another Guarantor or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor, then:

(1)          if the transfer is to a Subsidiary of the Company other than a Guarantor, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary, concurrently with such transfer, to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the EchoStar New Notes on the terms set forth in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding obligation of, such Subsidiary; and

(2)          with respect to any such transfer, the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary or such Guarantor, concurrently with such transfer, to execute and deliver such Security Documents or supplements to the Security Documents and any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law (to the extent required under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents), in order to grant and perfect a first-priority Lien in the transferred Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders.

The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit B hereto.

Section 4.16        Limitation on transactions with DDBS or HSSC. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than any DDBS or HSSC entities) to, transfer to DDBS or HSSC any assets, whether as an Asset Sale, investment, dividend or otherwise, or prepay intercompany debts owed to DDBS or HSSC in each case, other than (i) such transfers in the form of an Intercompany Loan in an amount not to exceed $2.0 billion in the aggregate at any one time outstanding or (ii) in accordance with, or pursuant to, agreements in effect on the Issue Date.

Section 4.17        Limitation on Dividends and other Payment Restrictions affecting Guarantors.

Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of the Guarantors to:

(a)

pay dividends or make any other distribution to the Company on the Guarantors’ Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in or measured by its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Guarantor;

(b)

make loans or advances to the Company or any Guarantors;

(c)

transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any Guarantor;

except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

the EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, the New Senior Spectrum Secured Convertible Notes, the New Senior Spectrum Secured Convertible Notes Indenture, the New Senior Spectrum Secured Exchange Notes or the New Senior Spectrum Secured Exchange Notes Indenture; or

any agreement for the sale of any Guarantor or its assets that restricts distributions by that Guarantor pending its sale; provided that during the entire period in which such encumbrance or restriction is effective, such sale (together with any other sales pending) would be permitted under the terms of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture; or

(d)

any instrument governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the terms of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture to the extent any applicable restrictions are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than such restrictions contained in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture.

Section 4.18        Collateral Appraisal. The Company shall obtain an initial appraisal of the Collateral (the “Initial Appraisal”) pursuant to the definition of the “Appraised Value” and deliver that Initial Appraisal to the Trustee within 60 days of the Issue Date.

If, following the Issue Date, FCC Licenses that form part of the Collateral accounting for up to 10% of the aggregate MHz-POPs of all the FCC Licenses constituting the Collateral are forfeited to the FCC, on any date, as a result of the Company’s failure to meet its buildout milestones with respect to such forfeited FCC Licenses (such date, the “Forfeiture Date”), the Company within 60 days of such Forfeiture Date shall obtain a written appraisal (the “Forfeiture Appraisal”) of the Collateral pursuant to the definition of the “Appraised Value” and shall deliver a certificate to the Trustee stating that the LTV Ratio as of the date of the appraisal does not exceed 0.375 to 1.00 (the “First Certificate”); provided that if such LTV Ratio exceeds 0.375 to 1.00, and, therefore, the foregoing First Certificate cannot be delivered, then within 60 days of receipt by the Company of the Forfeiture Appraisal and subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the Company shall: (i) add additional Spectrum Asset Guarantors and/or pledge (or cause to be pledged) cash (provided that any such cash shall be held in a deposit account established by the Company subject to the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent with respect to which the Company shall not have withdrawal rights prior to the repayment in full of the EchoStar New Notes pursuant to a customary account control agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that will provide, among other things, the cash in such account shall not be invested and need not accrue any interest) or additional Collateral to secure the EchoStar New Notes and (ii) provide a certificate to the Trustee stating that, after giving effect to such joinders, the LTV Ratio is not greater than 0.375 to 1.00 (the “Second Certificate”). The Company will make, upon request, available for inspection by the Holders any applicable appraisals from an Independent Appraiser conducted pursuant to the definition of the “Appraised Value” with respect to such additional Collateral; provided that, solely for purposes of this clause (ii), the Company shall not be required to obtain an updated appraisal with respect to the Collateral appraised in the Forfeiture Appraisal.

To the extent the Company does not deliver either (i) the First Certificate stating that the LTV Ratio is not greater than 0.375 to 1.00 within 60 days of the Forfeiture Date or (ii) if on the basis of the Forfeiture Appraisal, the LTV Ratio exceeds 0.375 to 1.00, the Second Certificate stating that the LTV Ratio is not greater than 0.375 to 1.00 within 60 days of receipt by the Company of the Forfeiture Appraisal, as applicable (such failure, a “Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Holders and the Trustee (such date of notification to the Holders and the Trustee, the “Redemption Notice Date”) in writing of such event and the principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes are to be redeemed on the 10^th day following the Redemption Notice Date (such date the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to deliver the First Certificate shall not constitute a Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event if the Company delivers the Second Certificate within the required time frames.

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent have any (or shall have any) knowledge whatsoever of whether or when any forfeiture event or Forfeiture Date has occurred; nor will either the Trustee or Collateral Agent have any knowledge of whether or when a Special Partial Mandatory Redemption Event has occurred, and shall have no responsibility for making any such determinations. In the event the Trustee receives a First Certificate and/or Second Certificate, it shall: (i) have no duty or obligation to monitor or determine whether such First Certificate or Second Certificate satisfies the Company’s obligations in any manner whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the sufficiency of the certificate contents or the compliance by the Company with any deadline or timing stricture contemplated above; and (ii) have no duty or obligation to send any First Certificate or Second Certificate received by it to the Holders or otherwise notify the Holders that it has received no such certificates. However, should the Company deliver a First Certificate or Second Certificate, it shall notify the Holders that it has delivered a First Certificate or a Second Certificate to the Trustee and shall thereafter make such certificates available for inspection by the Holders. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to determine the sufficiency of any additional Collateral added or pledged pursuant hereto or be charged with knowledge of the contents of, or have any responsibility in connection with, any appraisal referred to above.

Section 4.19        Limitation on Activities of Guarantors. Each Guarantor shall engage in no activities other than those reasonably related to its ownership of the Collateral owned by it and shall own no material assets other than the Collateral owned by it.

Section 4.20        Tax Treatment of Notes. The parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes to treat the EchoStar New Notes as indebtedness that are not “contingent payment debt instruments” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 and shall not take any position for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes inconsistent with such treatment except to the extent otherwise required by a change in applicable law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

in each case with respect to any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $250.0 million individually or in the aggregate (without duplication), any of the Security Documents at any time for any reason is declared null and void, or shall cease to be effective in all material respects to give the Collateral Agent the perfected Liens with the priority purported to be created thereby subject to no other Liens (in each case, other than as expressly permitted by this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the applicable Security Documents or by reason of the termination of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the applicable Security Document in accordance with its terms), which declaration or cessation is not rescinded, stayed, or waived by the persons having such authority pursuant to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise cured within 30 days after the Company receives written notice thereof specifying such occurrence from the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes; and

(12)

FCC Licenses that form part of the Collateral accounting for more than 10% of the aggregate MHz-POPs of all the FCC Licenses constituting the Collateral are forfeited to the FCC as a result of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ failure to meet their respective buildout milestones with respect to such forfeited FCC Licenses.

Section 6.02        Acceleration.

(a)

In the case of an Event of Default arising from the events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Guarantor described in Section 6.01(9) or (10) above, all outstanding EchoStar New Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount then outstanding of the EchoStar New Notes may declare all the EchoStar New Notes to be due and payable immediately.

(b)

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Default under Section 6.01(4), (5), (6),  (7) or (11) above, will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes notify the Company of the Default and, with respect to Section 6.01(4), (5), (6),  (7) or (11), such Default is not cured within the time specified in Section 6.01(4), (5), (6),  (7) or (11) described above after receipt of such notice.

(c)

Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes issued under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

(d)

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the EchoStar New Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the EchoStar New Notes Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or principal of, the EchoStar New Notes.

(e)

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, annually a statement regarding compliance with the EchoStar New Notes Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default thereunder to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(f)

If the EchoStar New Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the EchoStar New Notes by operation of law), the amount that shall then be due and payable shall be equal to:

(A)

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes then outstanding plus the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration, or (ii) the applicable redemption price in effect on the date of such acceleration, as applicable,

plus

(B)

accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of such acceleration,

in each case as if such acceleration were an optional redemption of the EchoStar New Notes so accelerated.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, if the EchoStar New Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the EchoStar New Notes by operation of law), the Applicable Premium or the amount by which the applicable redemption price exceeds the principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes (the “Redemption Price Premium”), as applicable, with respect to an optional redemption of the EchoStar New Notes shall also be due and payable as though the EchoStar New Notes had been optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the obligations with respect to the EchoStar New Notes in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. If the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable, becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the EchoStar New Notes and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes (including the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable) from and after the applicable triggering event. Any premium payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of the EchoStar New Notes, and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the EchoStar New Notes or the EchoStar New Notes Indenture are satisfied, released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE COMPANY AND EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the EchoStar New Notes.

Section 6.03        Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium if any, and interest on the EchoStar New Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this EchoStar New Notes or this EchoStar New Notes Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent (subject to being indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) to take enforcement action with respect to the Collateral if any amount is declared or becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02 (but not otherwise).

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the EchoStar New Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04        Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the EchoStar New Notes rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal, premium if any, or interest on, the EchoStar New Notes.

Section 6.05        Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee subject to certain exceptions. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this EchoStar New Notes Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06        Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers hereunder at the request or direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. No Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the EchoStar New Notes unless:

(1)

such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2)

Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes have requested to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)

such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)

the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5)

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this EchoStar New Notes Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.06 shall not limit the right of any Holder to pursue claims that do not arise under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes or the Security Documents.

Section 6.07        Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase or upon acceleration), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08        Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the EchoStar New Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09        Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the EchoStar New Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the EchoStar New Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10        Priorities. If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the EchoStar New Notes for principal, premium if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the EchoStar New Notes for principal, premium if any and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11        Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes.

Section 6.12        Limitation on Powers of Trustee and Collateral Agent. All powers of the Trustee and Collateral Agent under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, in its capacity as Trustee and Collateral Agent, will be subject to applicable provisions of the Communications Act, including without limitation, the requirements of prior approval for de facto or de jure transfer of control or assignment of Title III licenses.

(k)

The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including, without limitation, the Collateral Agent), and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03        Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of EchoStar New Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and Section 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04        Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the EchoStar New Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the EchoStar New Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the EchoStar New Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the EchoStar New Notes or pursuant to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.06        Reports by Trustee to Holders.

(a)

Within 60 days after each May 30 beginning with May 30, 2025, and for so long as EchoStar New Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will transmit to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA §313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit all reports as required by TIA §313(c).

(b)

A copy of each report at the time of its transmission to the Holders will be transmitted by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the EchoStar New Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d).

The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and hold them harmless against, any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this EchoStar New Notes Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(e)

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.

The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.

(b)          The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

Section 8.01        Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may at any time elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding EchoStar New Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.02        Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding EchoStar New Notes and Notes Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding EchoStar New Notes and the Notes Guarantees, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees and this EchoStar New Notes Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1)

the rights of Holders of outstanding EchoStar New Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium if any, on, such EchoStar New Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2)

the Company’s obligations with respect to the EchoStar New Notes under Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.10 and Section 4.02 hereof;

(3)

the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(4)

this Article VIII.

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03        Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 4.14, Section 4.15, Section 4.16, Section 4.17 and Section 4.18 hereof with respect to the outstanding EchoStar New Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the EchoStar New Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such EchoStar New Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding EchoStar New Notes and Notes Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and such EchoStar New Notes and Notes Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Section 6.01(3) through (7) and Section 6.01(11) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04        Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, with respect to the EchoStar New Notes under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof:

(1)

the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding EchoStar New Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be;

(2)

in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(A)

the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B)

since the date of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3)

in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(5)

such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6)

the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any of its other creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any of its other creditors or others; and

(7)

the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance relating to the EchoStar New Notes have been complied with.

Section 8.05        Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such EchoStar New Notes and this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such EchoStar New Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding EchoStar New Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06        Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07        Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the EchoStar New Notes and the Notes Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such EchoStar New Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Article IX

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may amend or supplement this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees, or the Security Documents without the consent of any Holder:

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents authorized or permitted by the terms of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but in all events the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents or otherwise.

Section 9.02        With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may amend or supplement this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the EchoStar New Notes), and except as provided in the next two paragraphs, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the EchoStar New Notes).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

(1)

reduce the aggregate principal amount of EchoStar New Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)

reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any EchoStar New Note or reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any EchoStar New Note;

(3)

reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any EchoStar New Note;

(4)

waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the EchoStar New Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the EchoStar New Notes by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5)

make any EchoStar New Note payable in money other than that stated in the EchoStar New Note;

(6)

make any change in the provisions of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or interest on the EchoStar New Notes;

(7)

waive a redemption payment or mandatory redemption with respect to any EchoStar New Note;

(8)

release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, except as set forth in Article X;

(9)

subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the obligations under the EchoStar New Notes to any other Indebtedness (including to other obligations under the EchoStar New Notes pursuant to changes to any recovery waterfall or otherwise), or subordinate, or have the effect of subordinating, the Liens securing the obligations under the EchoStar New Notes to Liens securing any other Indebtedness; or

(10)

make any change to clauses (1) through (9) above.

In addition, without the consent of Holders of at least 75% of the outstanding principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes then outstanding, an amendment or a waiver may not (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, (ii) make any changes in the provisions of Section 4.11, (iii) make any changes in the provisions under Section 4.08, or (iv) make any changes in the provisions under or related to Section 4.16.

Upon the request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents directly affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture or amendment or supplement to the EchoStar New Notes, the Notes Guarantees or the Security Documents.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will transmit to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to transmit such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, or supplemental or waiver.

Section 9.03        Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the EchoStar New Notes will be set forth in an amendment or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04        Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of an EchoStar New Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of an EchoStar New Note and every subsequent Holder of an EchoStar New Note or portion of an EchoStar New Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s EchoStar New Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any EchoStar New Note. However, any such Holder of an EchoStar New Note or subsequent Holder of an EchoStar New Note may revoke the consent as to its EchoStar New Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05        Notation on or New of EchoStar New Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any EchoStar New Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all EchoStar New Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new EchoStar New Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new EchoStar New Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06        Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent will sign any amendment, supplement or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents.

Article X
NOTES GUARANTEES

Section 10.01        Guarantee.

(a)

Subject to this Article X, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of an EchoStar New Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1)

the principal of, premium if any, and interest on, the EchoStar New Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the EchoStar New Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2)

in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any EchoStar New Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the EchoStar New Notes or this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Notes Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the EchoStar New Notes and this EchoStar New Notes Indenture.

(c)

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Notes Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d)

Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Notes Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Notes Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Notes Guarantee.

Section 10.02        Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of EchoStar New Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Notes Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03        Releases.

(a)

The Notes Guarantee of a Guarantor will be discharged and released upon the delivery to the Trustee and Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate stating that one of the following has occurred, and an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions to such release and discharge under the terms of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture have been satisfied:

(1)

with respect to a Spectrum Assets Guarantor and any Equity Pledge Guarantor that holds the Equity Interests of such Spectrum Assets Guarantor, upon the sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of such Spectrum Assets Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Spectrum Assets Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to (a) a Person other than an Affiliate of such Guarantor or (b) a Spectrum Joint Venture, in each case, if such sale or disposition does not violate the provisions set forth under Section 4.09 or Section 5.01 hereto, as applicable;

(2)

upon payment in full of the EchoStar New Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and payment and performance of all other obligations (other than contingent obligations that survive termination) of the Company and the Guarantors under the EchoStar New Notes Documents;

(3)

upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as set forth under Article VIII hereto or upon satisfaction and discharge of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture as set forth under Article XII hereto; or

(4)

with the consent of Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the EchoStar New Notes as set forth under Section 9.02.

Upon any release of a Guarantor from its Notes Guarantee, such Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a release pursuant to the foregoing clause (1) shall not be permitted while any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)

Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the conditions precedent under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture to the release of a Guarantor from its Notes Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.03(a)(1) through (a)(4), the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee.

(c)

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.03 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium if any, on the EchoStar New Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture as provided in this Article X.

Article XI
Collateral and Security

Section 11.01        Grant of Security Interest. The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest if any, on the EchoStar New Notes and all Obligations with respect to each Notes Guarantee when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the EchoStar New Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes and the Notes Guarantees, as applicable, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Security Documents.

Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent (i) to enter into the Security Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith, and (iii) subject to receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel required pursuant to Section 9.06 and Section 13.04 hereof, to enter into any additional Intercreditor Agreements, satisfactory in form to the Collateral Agent (for the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, shall be deemed satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) upon having received written instruction from the Company to do so. The Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations with respect to the Collateral except those expressly set forth hereunder or in the applicable Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into such documents against the applicable Collateral Agent.

The Company and the Guarantors will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the EchoStar New Notes and the Notes Guarantees secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed.

The Company will take, and will cause the Guarantors to take, any and all actions required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, subject to no Liens other than as permitted in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture.

Section 11.02        Security Interest During an Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, in addition to any rights and remedies available to it under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, take such action as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights in the Collateral, including the institution of sale or foreclosure proceedings.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to receive all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the provisions of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents (including notice requirements set forth in the Security Documents):

all of the rights of the Guarantors to exercise voting or other consensual rights with respect to all Equity Interests included in the Collateral shall cease, and all such rights shall become vested in the Collateral Agent, which, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights in accordance with the written direction from the Required Holders (it being understood that, until receipt by the Collateral Agent of such written direction, it shall have no obligation to exercise, and shall incur no liability for not exercising, such voting or other consensual rights); and

the Collateral Agent may take possession of and sell the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the terms of applicable law and the Security Documents.

Section 11.03        Recording and Opinions.

(a)

The Company will furnish to the Trustee simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture an Opinion of Counsel either:

(1)

stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering and filing of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, financing statements or other instruments necessary to make effective the Lien intended to be created by the Security Documents, and reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral, the details of such action; or

(2)

(a)

The provisions of this Section 11.09 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (except as otherwise provided herein for the benefit of the Trustee) and none of the Company or any of the Guarantors nor any of the Holders shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have only those duties or responsibilities expressly provided hereunder or thereunder and the Collateral Agent shall not have nor be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, the Company, any other Guarantor or any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

(b)

The Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any other Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes or the Trustee, as applicable. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents.

(c)

None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(d)

Other than in connection with a release of Collateral permitted under Section 11.04 (except as may be required by Section 9.02), in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Security Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Security Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes. Subject to the Security Documents, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(e)

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the collateral in its possession, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(f)

The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Guarantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future Holders of the EchoStar New Notes concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

(g)

In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion, as applicable, may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserve the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Agent or Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee will not be liable to any person for any environmental claims or any environmental liabilities or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for the Collateral to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any person other than the Guarantor, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding EchoStar New Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent or Trustee, as applicable, to appoint an appropriately qualified person who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the Collateral.

(h)

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges of the Trustee set forth in this EchoStar New Notes Indenture and all such protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges shall apply to the Collateral Agent in its roles under any other Security Document, whether or not expressly stated therein.

(i)

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.07.

(j)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall act only within the United States, and shall not be subject to any foreign law, be required to act in any jurisdiction located outside the United States or be required to execute any foreign law governed document.

(k)

The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the preparing or filing any financing or continuation statements or preparing or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

(l)

The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this EchoStar New Notes Indenture or the Security Documents by the Company or the Guarantors.

(m)

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to enter into any account control agreement which requires it to indemnify or reimburse any party thereto from the Collateral Agent’s own funds or from funds other than those received by the Collateral Agent from the applicable account and actually in the possession of the Collateral Agent at the time it receives any demand for reimbursement or indemnification.

no Default or Event of Default under this EchoStar New Notes Indenture has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the EchoStar New Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 30, 2025. The Company will pay (a) interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, at the then applicable interest rate on the EchoStar New Notes to the extent lawful and (b) interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company will pay interest on the EchoStar New Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on May 15 and November 15, respectively next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, even if such EchoStar New Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The EchoStar New Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other EchoStar New Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee under the EchoStar New Notes Indenture will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

Indenture. The Company issued the EchoStar New Notes under the EchoStar New Notes Indenture dated as of November 12, 2024 (the “EchoStar New Notes Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the EchoStar New Notes include those stated in the EchoStar New Notes Indenture and those made part of the EchoStar New Notes Indenture by reference to the TIA. The EchoStar New Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the EchoStar New Notes Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms.

Section 2.04       Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to First Lien Security Documents.

(a)       If, at any time the Controlling Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each other Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of First Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens of the Controlling Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that any Proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be allocated and applied pursuant to Section 2.01.

(b)       Each Collateral Agent and Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Obligors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite holders of the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations) to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section.

(a)       This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law) by or against the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b)       If the Obligors shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (the “DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each First Lien Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite holders of the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations) shall then oppose or object or any Controlling Secured Party with respect to such Shared Collateral opposes or objects to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens and/or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional or replacement collateral pledged to any First Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral (in each case, except to the extent a Lien on additional or replacement collateral is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral), with the same priority vis-à-vis the First Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing and/or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent a payment is made to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such payment), and (D) if any First Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent such adequate protection is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such adequate protection); provided that the First Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the First Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other First Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such First Lien Secured Parties (other than as a provider of DIP Financing) in connection with a DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral.

Section 2.06       Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference or fraudulent transfer under the Bankruptcy Code, any other Bankruptcy Law, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

Section 2.07       Insurance. As between the First Lien Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite holders of the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations) shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

Section 2.08       Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any First Lien Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative and Collateral Agent of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of Proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.

Section 4.02       Appointment. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Controlling Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the First Lien Secured Parties also authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent, at the written request of the Obligors, to if applicable, execute and deliver the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement in the capacity as “Designated Senior Representative,” or the equivalent agent, however referred to for the First Lien Secured Parties under such agreement and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to, or otherwise given to, the Designated Senior Representative by the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Controlling Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Secured Credit Documents for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the First Lien Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder or under any of the Other Intercreditor Agreements at the direction of the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting on the written instructions of the requisite holders of the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 4.02 and the equivalent, if applicable, provision of any First Lien Document (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent” named therein) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the First Lien Secured Parties, and each Collateral Agent, hereby agrees to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to facilitate and effect actions taken or intended to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02, such cooperation to include execution and delivery of notices, instruments and other documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Controlling Collateral Agent (acting on the written instructions of the requisite holders of the applicable Series of First Lien Obligations) to effect such actions, and joining in any action, motion or proceeding initiated by the Controlling Collateral Agent for such purposes.

If such Person elects to give BNY Instructions using Electronic Means and BNY elects to act upon such Instructions, BNY’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Person delivering Instructions understands and agrees that BNY cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that BNY shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to BNY have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Person delivering Instructions shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to BNY and such Person is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by such Person. BNY shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from BNY’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

Section 3.03       Actions upon Breach. Should any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of any Obligor) or the Obligors may obtain relief against such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that any Obligor or the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party.

If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If more than one Second Priority Debt Party has exercised such purchase right and the aggregate amount of all purchase rights exercised exceeds the amount of the Senior Obligations, the amount with respect to which each exercising Second Priority Debt Party shall be deemed to have exercised its purchase right shall be reduced on a ratable basis according to the amounts of the original exercises of such purchase right by each such Second Priority Debt Party. If one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of a representative appointed by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Representative, subject to any consent rights of the Issuer under the Notes Indenture or any applicable Senior Debt Document. If none of the Second Priority Debt Parties timely exercise such right, the holders of Senior Obligations shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

Section 6.01       Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Obligors shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Obligors’ obtaining financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from any Senior Secured Party) under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it (a) will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest (or support any person in objecting or otherwise contesting) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing, (b) except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and (c) to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any adequate protection Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties, and (iii) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States trustee fees or payment of any other amounts agreed to by the Senior Representatives. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two (2) Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such DIP Financing shall be adequate notice. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, further agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party with respect to the Senior Collateral (including under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law), (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or support any person in objecting to) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or support any person in objecting to) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral, or (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose or support any person in objecting to, contesting or opposing) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Obligor to which any Senior Representative has consented or not objected (including under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the Proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Second Priority Debt Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law), so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations upon the closing of such sale or disposition.

Section 6.02       Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, or support or join, directly or indirectly, any party in doing or performing the same, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral (including under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law), without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.

Section 6.03       Adequate Protection. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection, or (c) the allowance and/or payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (other than in a role of DIP Financing provider), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form (as applicable) of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or superpriority claim, which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing or providing adequate protection for all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out”) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all claims of the Senior Secured Parties, and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a Senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out”) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and (iii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the claims of the Second Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the Senior Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, then the Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable), subject to the right of the Senior Secured Parties to object to the reasonableness of the amounts of fees and expenses or other cash payments so sought by the Second Priority Debt Parties.

Section 6.04       Preference Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Obligors (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as Proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.05       Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from the Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties.

Section 6.06       No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

Section 6.07       Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective and enforceable before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Obligor. All references herein to any Obligor shall include such Obligor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Obligor.

Section 6.08       Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Designated Senior Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

To the extent any Second Priority Debt Party receives any payments or consideration on account of claims under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law in violation of the immediately-preceding sentence, then such Second Priority Debt Party will turn over to the Designated Senior Representative such amounts, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties

Section 6.10       Reorganization Securities; Voting.

(a)            If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, equity securities or debt obligations of the reorganized debtor (or any successor or assignee of the debtor) secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor (or any successor or assignee of the debtor) are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b)            No Second Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with or in violation of the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Debt Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.11       Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Senior Collateral. The Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Senior Collateral.

Section 6.12       Post-Petition Interest.

(a)            Neither the Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, costs expenses and/or other charges under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

Each of the Initial Second Priority Representative, the Obligors and the other Representatives, as applicable, delivering Instructions agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to BNY, including the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to BNY and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Initial Second Priority Representative, the Obligors and the other Representatives, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify BNY immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by BNY, or another method or system specified by BNY as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
